z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

uucp
All three files are stored in a subdirectory for each specific site, named after the
site’s name. For example, because the UUCP spool directory is /usr/spool/uucp,
then the directory /usr/spool/uucp/south is used for all the command, data, and
execute files associated with the remote site south.
Command Files
Command files are created by the mail routing agents uucp and uux. On UUCP
sites, command files have names such as C.targetA28B9, where target is the
name of the destination site, A is the job grade (as set by the –g option to uucp,
and 28B9 is the sequence number or job identification number. (You can use the –j
option on uucp and uux, as well as uustat to find the job identification number.)
In a command file, each line records one file transfer request. The fields are defined
as follows:
type The type field can be one of the following:
R Receive a file from remote to local site.
S Send a file from local to remote site.
source The name of the source file.
destination
The name of the file after the transfer completes, whether to the remote site
(S request) or the local site (R request).
Special characters such as the tilde (~) are still present, because they are
expanded on the destination site.
sender The login name of the user who issued the command. This is normally your
login name, though some programs (such as mail programs) use a different
login name for their requests.
options
The command options, which correspond to options of the uucp and uux
commands.
C Use the data file name as the source for the copy; this can only be
used with the S request.
c Use the source file name as the source for the copy.
d Create intermediate target directories as required. This is the
default.
m Send mail to the user when the transfer is complete.
n Send mail to the user specified by the notification name when the
transfer is complete.
datafile
The temporary file to be used if the source file was copied into the spool
directory; it is only used with the S request. If C is one of the options, the
data file is the name of the copy in the destination site’s data spool
directory. Otherwise, the placeholder name D.0 is used.
file mode
The UNIX-style permission mode of the source file. It is only used with the
S request. All files sent have mode 0666, plus whatever execute permissions
the original file had. (For an explanation of the modes, see chmod.)
